What is ECM?

ECM stands for Enterprise Content Management. It is the methodology, technique, system, tool and a way to manage, review, publish the content efficiently.
In late 2005 AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) defined ECM as:
Enterprise content management is the technologies used to Capture, Manage, Store, Preserve, and Deliver content and documents related to organizational processes.
In early 2006 AIIM added the following paragraph to the definition:
ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
In early 2008 AIIM changed the original definition to:
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
